I’m surprised of Stay & Diamonds being quite low given their love by the GP

But Stay & Diamonds are just Legendary bops that deserve to be her biggest hits 

We Found God dominating as it should be

stay being so high makes me depressed it didn't go #1.

literally her most beloved song with the GP, and IIRC it outsold all of her #1s besides WFL in the US 

Umbrella/WFL/Work is her trinity. We been knew 

We just Sang all 30 songs in class right now, From WFL to BBHMM.

We’re a class of 104 students from different backgrounds!!!

she really is Athe GP darling!!
